I emailed them a few days ago and the automated reply says to expect a week for a response. That wouldn’t be concerning except on Discord there are people begging for help after waiting multiple weeks.

I signed up for OpenRouter, loaded it up with $25, and after running a test prompt immediately had my account suspended. There’s no way to talk to support, emails go nowhere, and their Discord is swarmed with people who also are getting no

Assuming this story is true, is it normal that some rich guy can just ask to see police documents over dinner without any FOIA request or anything?

Yep, I saw that too -- about a week after I set it up for myself. Thankfully the default settings are aligned with the rules so I was not affected. I guess it just demonstrates that if you are using automation and you're not using the

When AWS suspects malicious usage in my experience they usually ask before shutting you down. The company I work at got one of these emails from AWS. We had a bug which caused us to hit a 3rd party API much more than we should have, and the

You clearly have an opinion you want to share, otherwise you wouldn't have written anything. Instead of just outright saying what you think, you are being vague. Why? It's true that Meta laid off a lot of people, and blamed refocu

I’m struggling to see how this wasn’t intentional by Godier, but I can’t understand what he was hoping to get out of it. Surely the truth would have come out eventually. Was one day of fame worth it?
